Rush Soccer and adidas send top two '97 boys to Real Madrid

As part of the new adidas partnership, Rush Soccer has the opportunity to send two of the best U15/U16 boys each year to the world famous Real Madrid, as part of the Real Madrid Select Training Program. Zach Emerson (OR Rush) and Sergio Rivas (NM Rush) have been selected to represent Rush Soccer as two of the top 30 players in the world to have the opportunity to train and play with the most famous club on the planet.

The all expenses paid trip allows Sergio and Zach to train with the Real Madrid Academy coaches and players and have the chance to be the one player that is kept over for a week's trial to potentially become a Real Madrid player.

Sergio said, "I really appreciate this opportunity. I am going to work even harder leading up to the camp, and i promise i will do everything i can to get picked to stay."

Zach, who has just returned from helping the B15 Select win the PDT in Arizona, for the 3rd year in a row, by scoring a hat-trick in the final, said, "I'm excited for this great opportunity to play with kids from all over the world as well as experience the Spanish culture"

Both players have been an integral part of the 97B Select team that have won all 5 tournaments they have entered and have never lost a game.

The guys received this note from adidas lead John Parker:
